7 months and 42 posts. that is possibly the longest lead up to spammage evar.

At what point does spamamge become a legitimate dwellar telling us about their new production?

I guess it depends on how much the poster has contributed in other areas (post count, time spent, and quality of posts), but also on whether the sale is mentioned once in an appropriate place, or shouted loudly in inappropriate threads.

On the latter criterion, I'm cool with this particular thread talking about his new book, but on the former criteria.... hmmmmmmmmm I'm not too sure.

EDIT: Just saw the other thread about the same item from a slightly different angle.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

seems a bit excessive.

However, the second, duplicate, thread in Relationships has been deleted.

I'm telling you guys you have to be careful. I've spent nearly 4 years and 6,000+ posts just lulling you guys into a sense of security. Pretty soon I'm going to start hitting you all up for the financial services that I provide. Just when you least expect it.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if LJ is doing the same thing. One day he's just going to start dropping car ads into his signature line. 10,000 posts? Just a part of the ploy.

Too late. You had already advised Dwellars to get into a more conservative and defensive position in their 401Ks just before the market took a dive. Giving away the good ideas for free that time.

I quite enjoyed the rant about China...and I will never go visit that country, now. Thank you, morie.

It would seem to me that morie was excited about having completed his piece and wanted an audience, more than anything. I know the feeling. Often, upon completing a piece of visual artwork I want to show everyone and gather reactions. I wouldn't consider that spam, but I am biased.
